Barak Itzhaki will make his debut as coach of Beitar Jerusalem on Saturday. The former Maccabi Netanya striker will meet his former coach Guy Sarfati for the first time.

The two played together in 2003, when Israel was in the midst of the second intifada. Beitar lost the same game, but were saved from relegation at the bottom of the table. The pair will meet again, this time on the lines, on Saturday at Teddi Stadium.
